WoW ! Very Nice !

Thank you very much! I think I'll get one to test. Following your suggestions, I got a Sanwei CC, a Sanwei 75 inner and a Stuor Harimoto Clone. They haven't arrived yet. I can't wait for them to arrive :).

I would like to know if you could suggest some rubbers for these 4 blades for BH and FH that don't require boost.
I consider my level to be starting at intermediate. My BH is stronger than my FH. I'm a player who focuses on more control, blocking, pushing, flicking, with drive and looping on the third ball and onwards.

Some rubbers that I've already ordered are the AK47 red, yellow and blue. Moon 12 Blue Medium Hard and Bloom Power. I was considering BD and J3A for FH but from what I understood in the posts about them, they need boost, right? Even using these blades, do I need to boost them? Any other suggestions?
The Lemuria Long 5, Stuor Harimoto ZLC, and 75 Inner are my 3 best blades.

But you should measure the frequency of the blades to see how close they are to mine.

Hi again ! Your Lemuria Long 5 is ZLC ?
I'm not sure..., but it looks like the same kind of fibre that is commonly used in Fang Bo blade.

I can't find the original aliexpress link anymore, so I don't know if Lemuria even sells this anymore

Hello again, mate! Finally, a good portion of the blades and rubbers I bought arrived. I would like to ask for your help if possible to define the best rubbers/blade combinations. The blades are:

Lemuria Long5
Stuor Harimoto
Sanweii 75 inner
Yinhe V14 Pro

The rubber combination I'm thinking of would be this one, but I don't know which blade would be best to put it on.

Moon 12(BH) - BD 39(FH)
BD 38(BH) - Bloom Power(FH)
AK47 red(BH) - Volant Phoenix(FH)
AK47 blue(BH) - Volant Phoenix(FH)

Can You Help me please ? If you want to create another combination, feel free. Tks !

These are really good blades and rubbers you got. This is how I would personally arrange them, with the view to try to balance the speed of the blade with the dwell time from the rubber or to balance the hardness of the rubber with the flex of the blade.

I just have one question. Do you have the Harimoto alc or the zlc?

Harimoto - Moon 12(BH) - BD 39(FH)
Long 5 - BD 38(BH) - Bloom Power(FH)
75 Inner - AK47 red(BH) - Volant Phoenix(FH)
V14 Pro- AK47 blue(BH) - Volant Phoenix(FH)

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help!
Regarding the Harimoto, I can't say, I bought this one, but from what I saw in the details it doesn't say.

oh yeah that's the zlc one. It's a very good blade, but there is also quite a bit of variation from each blade. Let me know how your harimoto feels compared to the long 5 and 75 inner.

Nice ! I will !
What are the differences between ZLC and ALC ?

Thanks Again
The Stuor ALC is slower, softer.

Stuor ZLC is a bit harder, more powerful, more catapult.

I have both the Harimoto ALC and Harimoto ZLC. I prefer the ZLC.

Another question, Do you seal your blades before gluing?
I personally didn't seal them, and I didn't have any serious problems. I did have some very slight splintering of the surface wood.

So if you want to avoid that, you could go ahead and seal the blades if you can do it very thinly and not affect the playing properties. But the blades are really cheap also, so it's not really that big of a deal. If you just want to know what the blades feel like without affecting the natural property of the wood, just go ahead and play directly.

I also changed my rubbers on these blades hundreds of times, so even after all that there was just slight splintering. So if you don't change rubbers often, it shouldn't be a problem.

I thought it was the opposite. ALC harder.

I finally tested the sets.
The one I liked the most is the Stuor Harimoto, which is very well balanced, safe, firme,r more catapult and power, harder than the Lemuria Long 5. The Moon 12 on Harimoto's BH I found to have a very high arc to play on the table, I have to stay further away, but I liked it. I'm using the Medium Hard version. Which version would have a lower arc? Medium Soft or Hard? I also liked the Sanwei 75 inner set better, great control, also firmer and harder than the Lemuria Long 5.
I found the Lemuria set to be very soft, especially on the backhand, I think that since I use the BD 38, maybe I'll swap it with the Stuor Moon 12, who knows, maybe it will improve the BH for both sets.
